# The __cxa_guard_* calls are generated for (non trivial) initialization of local static objects.
# These symbols are OK to use within serenity code, but they are problematic in LibC because their
# existence breaks ports (the implementation of these symbols resides in libstdc++.a which we do not link against in ports).
# To eliminate the need for these symbols, avoid doing non-trivial construction of local statics in LibC.
